Gearbox Teases Next Borderlands 2 DLC

Leave a comment

At the end of its PAX East panel today, Gearbox showed off a video hinting at Borderlands 2’s next downloadable content.

In the video, Tiny Tina was joined by original Borderlands Vault Hunters Mordecai, Lillith and Brick playing a game called Bunkers & Badasses, which appears to be the Borderlands universe’s version of Dungeons & Dragons. After some instructions from Tina and a few jokes, the video ended without any additional information.

It doesn’t permit the staggering degree of world-creating freedom of the 1990s Neverwinter Nights MMO, but at heart this is a modern D&D MMO for those of us who spent long nights around the dinner table listening to dungeon masters concoct new worlds for us with dice, pen, and paper.

Classic Dungeons & Dragons Games Will Hit XBLA, PSN

Leave a comment

If you don’t remember the Dungeons & Dragons arcade games Tower of Doom or Shadow Over Mystara, Capcom’s got your back. They’re bringing the pair to XBLA and PSN, as Siliconera reports.

Released in 1993 and 1996 respectively, Tower of Doom and Shadow of Mystara were side-scrolling beat-em-ups with RPG elements. They were known for their creative bosses and high difficulty.

This is the first time the pair have seen release since 1999, when they were in the now difficult to find Dungeons & Dragons Collection for the Sega Saturn.
